The truth will set you free, or get you banned!
Army vet to Army vet , blaming the Army for this is like libs/rats still blame the Military for war if it is politically expedient . Remember what the Army taught you about washing your hands after using the latrine ? Not required if you didn't get anything on you .
Thinking about the military, soldiers, God and prayer made me think of a song I heard a long time ago at my gramma’s house on her record player. It was Bill Anderson’s Deck of Cards Prayer.

It also made me think of an acrostic poem written using the Lord’s prayer by a prisoner of the War of 1812. (page 326)
Once they start really going down this PC route, it’s going to fall fast. What a proud tradition the Army has with it’s Chaplains, and prayers. Once they cancel Graham, it’s going to be grounds fro cancelling prayers in all sorts of other venues. It’s a slippery slope.
The government's 'opinion', or policy, is nothing but a decision to be politically correct and pretend that Islam is something other than what it is. Franklin Graham is right, as are many others who've pointed out the evil nature of Islam since its beginning.
It'll be a matter of significantly changing the government, or the people in key positions.
The brass are anything but.
Apparently, many are politically correct Obama lapdogs now. Afraid of losing rank or promotion? The Brass need Testosterone replacement therapy.
They need to pay particular attention to this:
“...Adherents to Shariah insist that their law prohibits any slander against Islam or Muhammad. Under such a catch-all restriction, virtually any kind of conversation about – or critique of – Islam can be considered impermissible if Muslims find it offensive...”

“STEALTH JIHAD
Shariah law dictates worldwide conversion to Islam, whatever it takes.”
“For the first time in its history, the United States is trying to wage and win a war without accurately identifying the enemy or its motivations for seeking to destroy us. That oversight defies both common sense and past military experience, and it disarms us in what may be the most decisive theater of this conflict: the battle of ideas.
Such a breakdown may seem incredible to veterans of past military conflicts. Imagine fighting World War II without clarity about Nazism and fascism, or the Cold War without an appreciation of Soviet communism and the threat it posed.
Yet today, the civilian leaders of this country and their senior subordinates – responsible for the U.S. military, the intelligence community, homeland security and federal law enforcement – have systematically failed to fully realize that we once again face a totalitarian ideology bent on our destruction.
That failure is the more worrisome since the current ideological menace is arguably more dangerous than any we have faced in the past, for two reasons. First, its adherents believe their mission of global conquest is divinely inspired. Second, they are here in the United States in significant numbers, not just a threat elsewhere around the world.
What, then, is this ideology? It has been given many names in recent years, including political Islam, radical Islam, fundamentalist Islam, extremist Islam and Islamofascism. There is, however, a more accurate descriptor – the one its adherents use. They call it “Shariah.”
Perhaps the most important thing to understand about Shariah is that it is authoritative Islam, which presents itself as a complete way of life – cultural, political, military, social and religious....
LOL!
